I joined several sites before I found this one. In almost every occasion I was mocked for my ignorance when I asked questions. When I joined COAR I was afraid I'd get more of the same thing. I was relieved and pleasantly surprised when I found out this place has a different breed of membership - people who really enjoy the sport & want to help others. As you can see from my post count, I dived in head first and haven't looked back. I love this community!
